Week 1
Computer Aided Design
This week's assignment: model a possible final project.
My final project idea is a magic wand! At Universal Studios, you can buy an ultra-expensive Harry Potter wand and it'll trigger special effects around the park if you wave it correctly. I want to do something kind of similar (but with a totally different implementation and hopefully much cheaper) - making a magic wand that controls a pretty box/lamp. The wand would have a speech sensor (microphone) and a motion sensor (IMU), so the user has to say the spell and wave the wand correctly in order to control the box. I would like for the box to be able to light up, spin around, and open/close.
Here is my attempt at creating a CAD model of the wand.
